Hotel Villa Garbí

Bruit Bruyant, pour le dîner une queue interminable…. Une longue attente… une mauvaise gestion…. Du sûrement à un manque de place à l’intérieur ….

After reading the reviews of this hotel I was very septical about going, however you get for what you pay for. When we arrived we was given a key to a room that was no bigger than Harry Potters cupboard. To then have a huge wasps nest on the balcony that went on to spread in the bedroom/bed/bathroom. After speaking with reception I was told use a spray. After repeatedly saying to them how many wasps there was. We was eventually moved to a different room (bigger than the original room) the new room had ants even in the beds! however the noise of people banging doors kicking doors had us awake all night every night (again I seen it was a "party" hotel) the music noise was fine it was the constant door banging (it had left holes in the door) the food was bland not much variety and was virtually cold. We spent more time eating out. The all-inclusive was a joke, you was given a 150ml beaker (like a child's cup) and if you didn't take it back to the bar you had to pay €1.00 for a replacement. The bar in the middle hotel (hotel villa garbi) was never open and we had to walk to the sister hotel to just get water or a coffee. The pool areas was dirty and needed updating. Staff was extremely unhelpful. The day we was leaving our transfer information was on the desk. We followed the instructions given to us by the hotel for the information to be WRONG and missed the transfers having to spend more money on a taxi to the airport. I will be making a formal complaint with "love holidays" in regards to this. This hotel suits the younger age who literally party all night and sleep all day. Would not recommend this hotel. But would absolutely return to the area.

Hotel Villa Garbi was an experience. The hotel is old (last renovation in 2002), rooms are dated and musty, beds uncomfortable and balconies are small. When we arrived, we were greeted with big pink signs for Ruf (a travel company for German teenagers) so the hotel was always inundated with teenagers. They played music by the pool for most of the day, with one day playing the same song on repeat for a good hour and while someone was (potentially drunk) slurring something into the microphone which was broadcasting over the poolside speakers. Not a very relaxing pool-side experience. There also seemed to be a herd of Italian teenagers that were noisy, and very unaware (although they were in their mid-teens so you can only expect so much good behaviour).We were told we had to eat in the hotel next door, which was fine, but the food was uninspiring and judging by the attitude of the staff, had probably been spat in. The staff manning the restaurant seemed to have a competition to see who can slam the plates and cutlery the loudest (even the Greeks would have been impressed) so it was never a good experience. You would get in, eat as fast as you could, and get out. The bar staff in Hotel Villa Garbi were good, and always friendly (no complaints there) but generally it was a rough experience. Good for an 18 year old looking for easy access to bars, clubs and other drunks, but I wouldn't recommend to anyone going on a 'relaxing' holiday.
